Sri Lanka to import cashew nuts in shell

The Cabinet of Ministers has approved to import 15,000 tonnes of cashew nuts for this year and then to import a quantity determined by a committee consisting of senior officials of the relevant ministries during the period from December to April when the local cashew harvest is not available int the next 4 years

The country’s annual requirement of cashew nuts in shell is around 25,000 Metric Tons.

However,currently only 12,500 Tons of cashew nuts can be procured locally and the cashew industry in the country is facing a very unfortunate situation as the crop has not been harvested as expected in the last season.
